Patti and I got home around 4 this afternoon and wanted to thank you SubRon4 guys again for all the work you did and for the great food. Kudos to Tony for cooking the great road kill, and to Kevin for the excellent smoked pork and beef. You guys can really cook!

That homemade baked bread was VERY good as well. Sorry I don't know the name of the guy that made it, but he also deserves mention here for a job well done.

It was great seeing you all again. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Patti and I will get the pictures together later tonight and post them here. We will also send the group shots to Tony, Kevin, Bill and Bob to distribute to the rest of the gang down there.

You guys are always welcome up here in Rochester. Maybe you can make our upcoming fun run. There will be white hots and butter tarts (I hope).

Thanks to all the Subron4 guys, and the women who back them, for all your hospitality. The Fun Run was a great time.It was terrific to finally meet a lot of you I've spoken to in the past, and the rest of you I never knew. I feel privileged to get to know you all and have the chance to make new friends. It was a real fun time.

A special thanks to Kevin P. and his wife for putting me up for the weekend, and for Kevin showing me all around. To him it may seem like nothing because he sees the things he showed me every day, but I consider it a chance of a life time and will never forget it.

Kevin, if you want to beat Big Dave at the tug pulling, I think you should make your tug on a Frisbie with a brick on the bottom of it, then he won't be able to capsize you. Big Dave's tug is practically that.

Hope to see most of you guys at the next SubRegatta, regardless of where it will be.

Time to model a C-Tractor Kev, It"s the only way your gonna have a shot

When surfaced, the bridge access hatch can be optionally open or shut, however, when submerged it is required to be shut. (Really a no s***t precaution from a procedure in use in the sub fleet today.)

I just completed the design of a revolutionary new power upgrade for the Toot.Unfortunatly I don't think I will do it. I don't think Kevin could take the strain, let alone the tow rope. So it will stay locked up in my sealed mayo-jar on funk and wagnels porch. BD.
